Thousands marched in Culiacán to mark the second anniversary of the Sinaloa cartel war, demanding an end to the violence that has driven up crime and forced thousands of businesses to close. As residents protest, state Governor Rubén Rocha has stepped down again amid political scrutiny and US drug-smuggling allegations.

  • BBC World reports that local business leaders estimate over 5,000 establishments have shut down since the factional conflict began. The outlet also notes that Governor Rubén Rocha has taken another leave of absence following critical social media comments from President Claudia Sheinbaum.
